  abstract = {{C}oral reefs are increasingly threatened by various disturbances, and a critical challenge is to determine their ability for resistance and resilience. {C}oral assemblages in {M}oorea, {F}rench {P}olynesia, have been impacted by multiple disturbances (one cyclone and four bleaching events between 1991 and 2006). {T}he 1991 disturbances caused large declines in coral cover (similar to 51% to similar to 22%), and subsequent colonization by turf algae (similar to 16% to similar to 49%), but this phase-shift from coral to algal dominance has not persisted. {I}nstead, the composition of the coral community changed following the disturbances, notably favoring an increased cover of {P}orites, reduced cover of {M}ontipora and {P}ocillopora, and a full return of {A}cropora; in this form, the reef returned to pre-disturbance coral cover within a decade. {T}hus, this coral assemblage is characterized by resilience in terms of coral cover, but plasticity in terms of community composition.},
